than seven thousand people how died in russia from drug related causes since the beginning of the year at the same time there are others who are saying that that number is actually more than one hundred thousand and that is actually a yearly occurrence why is there such a huge difference in the numbers. you see the figure of seven thousand gag reflex only the number of people who actually died from poisoning that is they took such huge doses but they're all conspiratorial because most drug users however don't die from overdosing they know how to measure their doses the reason for most drug related deaths is internal organ failure due to regular consumption after. russia is in the third place in the world are when it comes to drug consumption do you think it's time for. punishment for drug. death penalty or life term in prison. we have proposed
12:33 am
a bill to distinguish between levels of crime which is held by the government but individuals selling large quantities of drugs will be in for more severe punishment all the way up to a life sentence for people not involved in large drug related crimes will consider alternative action which may mean offering them the option of taking a therapy course instead of punishment according to some numbers only ten percent of all heroin that ends up in russia is being apprehended by. what is the problem why do we why do we stop such a small percentage. to drug users. these figures are in fact common for the whole world i mean police all over the world be it europe or america only managed to confiscate around ten percent of illegally traded drugs within their countries another thing is the extremely low efficiency of our borders and
12:34 am
their administrative and legal methods lead to the fact that only no point two percent of all drugs are intercepted at the borders get into russia first have to go through the states of central asia where they're not intercepted those states themselves above all of victims of afghanistan's enormous drug production. as a matter of fact afghanistan itself is the victim of global drug meth your word. which creates the demand and the political will to continue production in the country. this is why countries next to afghanistan have the greatest density of drug flow. simply because they are closer to the epicenter further away the drug flows since a lot of different channels and then drugs get to russia for example through the seven thousand kilometer border with because it's not. over eighty percent of all synthetic substances that are illegally traded in russia originate in europe mostly the netherlands where most of the fishermen based drugs
12:35 am
are many factures poland the baltic states germany the area and many other countries with underground drug labs. are small but there are many of them and the substances they produce find their way to russia of through various channels speaking of the amounts that we intercept and confiscate its nearly half a ton of synthetic substances every year mostly these are methamphetamine. ecstasy and other similar drugs. but also their parents as well. well you know testing people on mass would be far too radical no of course not we're talking about establishing an early warning system to detect drug addicts and abusers after all people are not born addicted to drugs it all starts with experimenting mostly in teenage years when kids start spending more time on the streets away from their parents that's when they get to know drugs this needs to be detected at an early stage and if parents are warned in advance
12:36 am
sometimes it just takes parental action and advice to put an end to these dangerous practices if not stopped in time these experiments later lead to regular consumption which in turn requires longer and more costly treatment. no we're not talking about force treatment here any forcing of treatment is a violation of the person so it's important that drug abusers make this decision for themselves in our country drug abuse is subject to administrative liability and punishment by paying a fine on average six hundred rubles punished and then they're released so our society seems to be the drug users will somehow realize that they require treatment for this. but they won't because their mind is blurred by chemical in connection of psychoactive substances. therefore a legal system should be created to push them towards having treatment and as i've
12:37 am
said this is what we call alternative responsibility and this is also recommended in the united nations anti drug convention. according to. one drug. but. i have to say that we rejected this kind of conclusion so did my colleagues in the u.s. russia presidential commission just to gil kerlikowske harsh treatment we discussed it immediately with washington over the hotline and criticized the global commission legalizing drugs is a road to nowhere more than that it will result in the growth of drug abuse. and you have a referendum on legalizing marijuana in california in september last year i was there when it was held where we decided with mr gil kerlikowske a number of meetings with officials including the man the sheriff the chief of police the prosecutor all the respectable professions had a clear position against legalizing marijuana and the referendum confirmed that it
12:38 am
should not be legalized. why would you. find. drug. as a third drug california. i have explicit information from the u.s. presidential administration that this financier had. largely funded the campaign. in europe. certainly this example of a global commission reminds me of a global p.r. campaign by drawing so much attention. but even a respectable agency like the b.b.c. covered the last of the un i mean even serious agencies were confused therefore there are many reasons to believe that this drug lobby had funded the campaign moreover i want to indicate that we've been discussing at various international platforms on may tenth i spoke at the g eight summit is to real conference in paris
12:39 am
so did many of my colleagues we said that unfortunately our fight against drugs stagnates at both local and regional levels because the global level stays even beyond our understanding this concept hasn't been developed yet that in this context i want to know that the former under secretary general of the united nations antonio costa who was responsible for the drug problem mentioned that in two thousand and eight to two thousand and nine in the midst of the global financial crisis. three hundred fifty two billion u.s. dollars from selling drugs were pumped into the world's leading banks this means that a certain global level determines all sets the demand for drugs. and ultimately a political order for this production. as far as the withdrawal from afghanistan is concerned the picture is unclear so it
12:40 am
was said that the call would start and certain parameters for it have been set they've mentioned thirty thousand troops by the end of the year but when i was in washington last september they were talking about the need to increase the military contingent in afghanistan exactly by thirty thousand now the time to return these thirty cells and so in fact nothing has changed i think. the world community and you can disagree he's beginning to consider the situation in afghanistan because there were several reasons behind the decision to launch a military operation and the decision of the world community to interfere in that is for the country. to put an end to the taliban rule to set up an interim administration and hold free elections. these tasks were supposed to be in six or twelve months but this september we'll see the tenth anniversary of that interference it's longer than world war two the situation in afghanistan hasn't improved it's become even worse and even senior officials like general petraeus for
12:41 am
example has commanded the military operation in afghanistan says the number of arms clashes there increases a year after year in fact the number of armed clashes over the past ten years has increased more than one hundred times say we have the assigned tasks going to chief . security in afghanistan has only gotten worse. it said that drug production cannot be fought because damage is the security situation in the country so it's a kind of closed circle in this respect to the be worthwhile to know a nato operation in helmand province which produces the most opium poppies the operation was called. which translated from persian together. the operation was presented as a brilliant military success considerable kilometers and hectares of the province were reportedly cleared of insurgents but the production of opium has never stopped . that's what a peaceful settlement is necessary we've started talking about this at long last it was highlighted at the london conference on afghanistan in two thousand and ten
12:42 am
with the autumn conference in kabul also stressed the need to find a peaceful settlement the latest initiative was voiced by the us president barack obama negotiations with the taliban and the latest resolutions of the united nations security council which divided responsibility between the taliban and al qaeda are offering a unique opportunity in my view to drop a program of eliminate. drug production i just come from a meeting of the parliamentary faction of the progressive alliance of socialists and democrats the second largest faction in the european union here outside the european parliament building which we discussed the e.u. strategy towards afghanistan large sections of that strategy are devoted to liquidation of drugs production of the use strategy matches very well with the russian drafted plan called ready to liquidate the production of drugs in afghanistan in fact the direction that russia and the european union are taking fit together very well so today we have a unique opportunity for resolution and decisive action are you going to say.
